Platinum Dental Services Leadership

With multiple decades of combined experience and proven success strategies, Platinum’s leaders provide the blueprint dental professionals need to excel. We’ve guided practices through every stage of growth. From startup to expansion, optimization to acquisition. Turning clinical excellence into business success while keeping patient care at the center of everything.

Vince Dilley is the Founder and CEO of Platinum Dental Services, headquartered in American Fork, Utah.

What began as a call center supporting unaffiliated dental practices has grown since transitioning into a DSO in 2012 into a thriving network of 50+ practices across the region. 

Under Vince’s leadership, Platinum has specialized in revitalizing and transforming struggling dental offices into successful, patient-focused practices. In 2023, Platinum partnered with Main Post Capital, accelerating growth opportunities and expanding the company’s reach. This partnership has also strengthened Platinum’s commitment to giving back through its philanthropic initiatives that support both patients and communities. 

Vince continues to lead Platinum with a focus on continuous improvement, service, and people-centered growth, ensuring that both providers and patients thrive within the Platinum network.
